David Otunga Deals With Knife Wielding Thief

That could have ended badly. David Otunga may not be around much anymore, but he’s still a former professional with WWE and that means something. Otunga has always had an incredible physique and that can be rather intimidating. However, that doesn’t mean he’s immune to people trying to cause him problems, one of which almost wound up being a lot worse than it could have been.

Why did Otunga stop wrestling for WWE? Find out here.

In a new post on his Instagram page, Otunga tells a story about coming out of the gym over the weekend and finding someone robbing his car. Otunga came up to the robber and yelled, scaring him to the point that the robber begged Otunga for mercy and ran off. After he was gone, Otunga found a knife that the man left behind in the seat of the car. All of Otunga’s things were still there and no one seems to have been hurt.

I had a close call last night when I was leaving the gym. Having just finished a killer shoulder workout, I was all pumped up as I walked out to my car. When I opened my car door, I discovered a man sitting in my driver’s seat stealing my things! I startled him just as much as he startled me and he jumped up in my face. In that split second I had a million thoughts running through my head as I assessed the situation: “Does he have a gun? A knife? It’s either going to be him or me who walks out of this, and it damn sure is going to be me!” So my reaction was to yoke him up! To my surprise, he responded by pleading to me for mercy! WTF?! He begged me not to hurt him and to let him go! He then frantically handed me back my AirPods, a portable charger, and an old bottle of lotion that had been in my car (Random. I know). I watched him scurry away terrified and then I noticed that in his haste, he left behind a knife sitting on the armrest. That showed me just how close I was to things possibly turning out differently as he could have easily used it against me. I couldn’t figure out why he didn’t use the knife and my buddy said to me, “Are you serious? Do you know what you look like in the gym? If you walked up on me with those muscles and grabbed me, I’d plead for my life too!” Lol. I guess my delt pump helped save my life last night ? (I’m still trying to figure out how he got around the alarm and electronic locks to get into my car in the first place. It sounds like an inside job, if you know what I mean.)

He would intimidate me too.

Raw: John Cena vs. David Otunga

Opinion: Well that could have been much worse. As Otunga’s friend said, seeing someone who looked like Otunga coming at me with that kind of anger in his eye would intimidate me too. Otunga is very lucky that this didn’t go a lot worse and at least no one was hurt. Hopefully the person is scared straight, or at worst gets caught next time by someone who isn’t willing to let him go.
